All are edible, the Mud Gecko is the hardest to fillet though.

Just bought a reel from Otto's Tackle World. Once it was shipped AusPost Express Int'l Post, it was here in 3 days to CA.

Just a heads up that the AUS/USD strongly favors the USD. Otto's pricing on the big US auction site is not as aggressive as some of the JDM sellers but they do put things on sale there from time to time which are great deals sometimes even with discounted shipping ($3.83 on this reel)

I try to use the 10% big auction house "bucks" promotions and try to time big purchases around the time I get those in my email. $82 in bucks this time around from a couple of purchases I made the first three months of 2017.

Greetings to those from down under!

Just read that Shimano Australia gives you a 10 year warranty on all fishing reels.

"In Australia, Shimano Australia Fishing Pty. Ltd and in New Zealand, Shimano New Zealand Limited provide a TEN YEAR WARRANTY on all Shimano fishing reels imported by those two companies into their respective countries, against defects in materials and/or faulty workmanship."

That's pretty amazing.
